英語閱讀理解題目及答案

　　“Leave him alone！” I shouted as I walked out of the garden gate。 There were two strong bullies pushing a deaf kid around。 They pushed the kid down on the ground and kicked him as hard as they could on the back。 The deaf kid’s body started shaking all over and he curled up to hide his face。

　　I ran as fast as I could back through the garden gate and into the thick bushes。 I grabbed my home—made bow and four arrows。 Then I ran back out of the gate。 “If you’re brave enough to kick him again， I’ll…” I said， shaking like a leaf。

　　The poor kid then made a sound that I will never forget。 It sounded like a whale when it is being attacked and knows that it is about to die。 I fired all of my arrows at the two bullies as they ran away laughing about what they had done。

　　I pulled the kid up off the ground and helped him back to his house。 When we reached his home， his sister told me that her brother was deaf。 He was very smart， but he could not say or hear anything。 I told her that he did make a sound when the bully kicked him on the back。 She told me that I must be mistaken because all her brother’s vocal cords （聲帶） had been removed during an experimental surgery， which had failed。

　　The kid gave me a sign as I was about to leave。 His sister told me that he was saying that he loved me with his hands。 I didn’t say anything back to her because I didn’t believe her at all。

　　The next day several bullies chased me around the garden。 Finally I made a dash for the fence and tried to climb over it to escape。 I saw the deaf kid sitting there and looking at me as they pulled me down from the fence。 They dragged me by my legs， screaming and shouting。 All I could hear was the sound of that whale being attacked again。 That is when I realized that he probably really did love me。
